Walking the Plank

The Pirates, down 2-1 in the top of the ninth, had men on 2nd and 3rd with no one out and failed to at least tie the game. Eldred struck out swinging on a pitch that looked like ball four to me. The next batter, Castillo was intentionally walked. Brower was pitching at the time, and it looks like he had real problems with the intentional balls. He threw very softly and pretty far off the plate. I thought if he timed it right, Mackowiak could have stolen home on one of the throws and tied the game right there. Another strike out and a ground out ended the game for the Pirates. They couldn't put the ball in play when it would have mattered.

Ah, the joys of being a Pirates fan.
